I had to make it then drill it so holes are optional. i was going for a ducati clutch cover look. the original was so pitted that painting it wouldn't help. i may make a starter cover also.

NICE, HOW ABOUT DIFFERENT COLOURS?

I like carbon fiber and I like it on newer sport bikes. CF look good on old Hondas, too.

You are familiar with carbon fibre..?

SF · « **Reply #9 on:** August 21, 2011, 05:20:09 am »

YA HAVE GREY ON MY 10R AND YELLOW ON MY BF750, BUT THE BLACK LOOKS THE BEST ON AUMINUM

SHORTROUND · « **Reply #10 on:** August 21, 2011, 06:22:47 am »

I just used it to be different. Plus we all know that sometomes parts are too pitted to just paint them. here are some other pics of carbon projects.

cb350 carb slide covers

pionts cover

CB350F points cover

stator cover

Stuff looks really good. I've looked in to carbon fiber before. Is it easy to use?

hondaface75 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 21, 2011, 10:29:28 am »

Hell Id pay to have some of those in my bike....

Cheffish · « **Reply #13 on:** August 22, 2011, 03:17:01 pm »

Please make and sell those points covers

. Or at least think about it.

carbon fiber adds like what 10 HP right

Seriously though nice job and they look great

jaguar · « **Reply #15 on:** August 29, 2011, 06:09:46 pm »

the stator cover was molded, but the points cover was covered to keep it water tight, and protect it from overtightening.

don't forget its lighter too. acually every bike i seem to get has a dented points cover.; $48 for a new one or about $4 to skin it. if it were my bike i would buy one, but this 750 is for sale. i'm a teacher by day and bike builder by night (because teacher pay sucks). this will be my 14th cafe racer. i call it mine because i build them for myself but my wife won't let me keep them all.

SHORTROUND · « **Reply #18 on:** August 31, 2011, 09:48:59 pm »

i forgot to add that my cafe racer has no carbon on it, except for the spark plugs.

SHORTROUND · « **Reply #19 on:** September 08, 2011, 04:05:09 pm »

A little update on the motor parts. i made a starter cover and ground off the "honda" on the stator cover to make it smooth.

jaguar · « **Reply #20 on:** September 10, 2011, 11:55:07 am »

very cool.
